Allez! Foundations in Beginning French uses a simple, innovative, and completely interactive method to teach elementary French. The goal is for students to become comfortable speaking and understanding the target language through a personal, highly engaged learning experience.
Based on the premise that students learn a language best through direct communication with others, the book steers students away from audio recordings, videos, and online learning. Instead, it provides numerous opportunities for students to converse with each other through a variety of activities, such as dialogues, stories, cultural readings, tongue-twisters, word games, and famous quotes. Each chapter features Les Conversations Françaises, a series of student-directed, easy-to-evaluate, in-class skits that encourage students to have fun and experiment with the language without feeling intimidated by the need to be grammatically perfect.
The second edition includes new content and improved pacing throughout, based on extensive class testing. More cultural material helps acquaint students with the French language as encountered in French-speaking countries other than France, and a completely refreshed layout highlights updated, enhanced images as well as a reorganization of content and topics.
Allez! provides students with the information and practice they need to successfully master written and spoken beginning French. The text is ideal for introductory French classes at the community college or undergraduate level.
